As a measure of the active business 

 the dealers in accessories are enjoying, 

 Wertheimer Bros, state that up to Au- 

 gust 1 they had sold as many ribbons 

 as in all of 1915. Their force of sales- 

 men recently has been doubled to take 

 care of the increased demand.

The Market. 



The last two weeks have seen the 

 beginning of fall weather — cooler nights 

 and cooler days. We have had almost 

 continual sunshine and as a result con- 

 ditions have changed materially, Roses 

 now are arriving freely, of reasonably 

 good quality, save the reds, which still 

 are scarce. Carnations are beginning 

 to come in, the whites most satisfac- 

 torily, and quality is surprisingly good 

 for so early. Gladioli are more in evi- 

 dence than they were two weeks ago. 



Business has shown some symptoms 

 of reviving and a week ago there was 

 a run of funeral work that cleaned up 

 everything in sight. 



The chrysanthemums are showing up 

 unusually well for the season and, while 

 there are not so many in the benches 

 this year, there is promise of as good 

 stock as was ever grown in the city. 



I saw a sample of soil from a mum 

 house the other day that contained the 

 mycelium of a mushroom of some sort. 

 The mums were being killed by the 

 growth as fast as it spread, and as 

 tjje troubw ^^as In the soil it was hard 

 to reach, llie sample was brought to 

 the city to see if anyone knew a rem- 

 edy. Was this introduced in the ma- 

 nure, and is it common f 



Various Notes. "^ 



The Hillcrest School Farm tried an 

 experiment in flower seed growing in a 

 small way this summer. On the whole 

 the experiment was successful, but on

Corrugated Fiber Board makes the ideal packages for shipping flowers. 

 The dead air cells give protection from heat and frost, and the arched 

 corrugations form a cushion that takes up all the shocks and jars. 



Sefton Boxes have played an important part in improving shipping 

 conditions. The board in them has higher corrugations and more of 

 them to the inch than any other kind. 



Look for the Ancbor Brand trade mark; it's an important part of the 



box. ASK YOUB PAPEK JOBB£B.

Leo Geny returned from his auto trip

The Market. 



The weather was considerably cooler 

 last week, but there was little rain. The 

 drought has acted badly on all outdoor 

 stock. The general supply of stock was 

 somewhat heavier and helped business 

 to some extent. Roses are coming in 

 more heavily, and are in fine shape. The
